general problems of the 2001 Honda Civic

The car set on fire causing by airbags explosion and electrical issues and I got myself burned trying to stop the fire.

Problems with the electrical part of the ignition, causing my car to cut off, or it leaves me and my kids stranded!!! even the srs light is on, and when I looked up the recall information, theres recalls on both and the dealership is declining to service my vehicle. This is a major saftey issue, I cant afford to put my kids life in jeopardy, nor can I afford another car right now. Please help me !!!.

When I turn our hit a bump it pops and feels like it's going to fall apart when I drive as well as makes the car hard to steer and the car trys to turn off.

It has a kill switch and caught fire.

Stalls out / loses power while driving, cannot maintain speed even when floored, worse on hot days, doesn't happen in the winter, the main fuel relay gets real hot and car will not run until it sits for about 5 or 10 minutes, then sometimes (when 90+ degrees out) will only run for a few minutes before it happens again, I have already replaced the relay and its still happening.

Takata recall. My 2001 Honda Civic has been sitting my my drive for about a month and is not being used as my primary vehicle. Yesterday the car seemed fine; windows clear, no smell, etc. However, when returning today the car had the smell of burnt plastic which was overpowering and went to see why it smelled and then noticed that the windows were covered in soot. The driver side door was opened and the smell was 100% stronger and you could see that the plastic on the passenger side dash was burnt and melting right around where the airbag; I will send pictures. It looked like the dash had melted from the inside out and besides the car covered in soot the damage is located specifically on the passenger side around the airbag and glove compartment. In working to complete this report I noticed how it asks how many miles are on the car, but the only way to see the number of miles is by turning the car on. I am hesitiant to turn the car on since I don't know what happened and don't think it is safe. However, I know the car has over 200,000 miles but I am not sure as the exact number of miles.

I received a 2001 Honda Civic lx from my dad as a gift around the end of April, 2018. Which he had spent about 2000 in the motor before giving it to me. The issues occurred with the car over heating right when we landed into las vegas which we were coming from san dimas California, it took about 3-4 hours to get back home. I had issues with my car over heating a lot which had to do with the sensors at first which had gotten replaced. Than after the fan to cool down the radiator wasn't working properly to where only one fan would kick in. Now out of no where my car had issues accelerating which should be investigated before somebody really gets hurt. From all the reviews thank god in the long run everybody is okay but in order for this to be recalled it's like people need to be injured or deaths need to really occur before when things like this should be fixed so serious problems don't occur in leads to death. I almost got side swiped when I had no choice but to try to move to saftey really slow which I didn't have control of the car moving at that paste when it wouldn't move any faster than what it wwas. Since I found out my car having issues on accelerating and being able to move around I find out there is the air bag recall which I receive a paper in mail to fix but how when I can't even get there. It's the end of July 2018 in which my car is officially unable to be moved. So many problems within 3 months and so much money wasted it's ridiculous.

On April 8 2015 while I was driving to my house, I saw smoke coming out of the dashboard so I had to desperately stop the car I run. My car was call for recall and I when to Honda services in hillside, new jersey where they told me that they had to fix something from the air bag in the dash board they told me they have to order some parts and they will call me to comeback so I waiedt for one month and two month and they never call me I called to find out about those parts and I was told the same thing, that they are going to call me I believe my car was total destroy in fire because they did not fix my car on time.

Own a 2001 Honda Civic lx check engine light once up with code p0740. Had the code read at autozone went out. Now it has come back.

The vehicle gauge cluster reads the wrong information. It caused me to stall on the freeway driving 65 mph. I completely ran out of fuel and the gauge read that I had 1/4 of a tank left. Others have complained about this issue on the internet. The fuel, mph, and temperature readings are all off.

I purchased this car used, and you cannot see the speedometer or any gauge when the sun hits the plastic covering them. It is a serious issue. I cannot believe Honda hasn't recalled the plastic or at least put something on it. This has to be addressed. I owned a 2002 Honda Civic before this and it did not have the same angle on the dash so there was never an issue.

Srs light on my 2001 Honda Civic is on and the problem, according to the dealer is a code 15-3 for opds unit failure. With this light on the air bags in my car will not function in a crash. Honda had extended the coverage for this repair for 10 years or 150,000 miles. The problem is that I missed the cut off for a covered repair by 11 months. The car currently has less than 85,000 miles on it. The dealeship, valley Honda of monroville PA, wants to charge 325 dollars for the repair that I feel should be covered by the car company because I believe the problem is in their equipment.

My mother is a victim of sudden acceleration incident from a Honda Civic 2001. She was driving the vehicle on a small street and had placed it in park. Then, she placed the gear back into drive and before tapping the gas pedal the car surged forward in high acceleration and went out of control. She applied the brakes a few times but it failed to stop the car. The steering was also out of control and the car continued to accelerate about 30-40 mph for an entire block and finally, crashed into a tree totaling the vehicle. She was taken away by ambulance. As a result of the crash, she suffered from a broken ankle and heel, deep gash to the knee, severe chest pain (from airbag) and heart contusion. She spent over a week in the hospital and is still in the process of recovering.

The instrument cluster on my 2001 Honda Civic lx progressively underwent failure from intermittent to highly unreliable over a period of 6-8 months. At times I was driving with no instrument display. Repairs are being performed by a Honda dealer.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Civic. While driving 5 mph, the srs light illuminated. The mechanic stated that the circuit box failed, which meant that the air bags would not deploy during a crash. As of November 15, 2007, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle. The current and failure mileages were 95,000.

Car does not start when I turn the key. It usually start after the 8 or 9 try. It started doing that about 6 months ago, but in the past few weeks it has happened about every time I try to start the car.

On 3/21/07 my 2001 Honda Civic ex with 109k miles displayed on engine light reporting a p0740 torque converter failure. This was diagnosed by willet Honda in morrow, GA and two other independent shops. A transmission repair/replacement of $2400 was the recommendation. The car was running fine then and now, 35k miles and two yrs later, the car is still running fine with the engine light on. American Honda has offered no help. I cannot pass an emission test with the light on and I am very confident something else is wrong like a sensor. A research of this problem shows it is quite common among Civics and other may have paid for unnecessary transmission repairs.

2001 Honda Civic experienced problems with headlight failures and dashboard gauges. The front headlights would cut out intermittently in which Honda replaced two bulbs. The left front headlight cut out and one bulb was replaced. The right front headlight cut out again and one bulb was replaced. The gauges were erratic along with flickering front headlights. Honda could not verify the problem. The consumer felt that he should not be responsible for the repairs. The dealer told the consumer the problem was not related to the recall.

The air bag light of the consumer's 2001 Honda Civic illuminated twice. The srs light was repaired and it may have attributed to the garage door opener. The air bag light stayed on.

Problems with keyless entry and headlights. The headlights only worked on high beam. The vehicle had been taken to several mechanics for the problem but they could not help. The keyless entry did not work when the vehicle was returned to the consumer and after that the headlights did not work again. The doors had to be opened and locked manually. The headlights did not work due to a previous accident.

Wind noise can be heard inside the vehicle, the dealer resealed the windshield molding, noise while braking, faulty ecm fuse caused the vehicle to stall while stopped, rattle in dash, dealer replaced the felt tape between the air ducts and vents, cd player skips and was replaced, faulty front spring caused noise in the front end, both left doors leak, the drivers seat is loose at the track, a ripped seal caused the sunroof to leak, steering wheel not centered.
